    Hearing protection

    ASTM/ANSI, whichever. I'm still waiting for Triad to tell me how low NRR is better than high NRR. I'm genuinely curious, as I see a fair amount of Sordins at matches. But if testing NRR is standard, how are Sordins are better at noise reduction than muffs with an allegedly higher NRR? I'm...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns School me on suppressors

    I'm running an AAC Pilot, and while I like it, if I was buying another .22 can I'd get one that I could take apart for cleaning. My advice- get one in the works, then get the next one in the works, and so on. Eventually the stamps will start coming back, and you'll suddenly have them all...

    Hearing protection

    School me. Where does the NRR from manufacturers come from? Without really thinking about it, I figured there was some ASTM test that generated the NRR numbers used. I'm wrong, evidently. 1911fan

    Hearing protection

    Which I still don't get, due to their low passive NRR. They might be comfy but don't fulfill the primary purpose of hearing protection as well as far less expensive ones. Hype ain't everything. 1911fan

    Hearing protection

    This is because of permanent damage. Incremental, irreversible. I'm OCD about protection. 1911fan

    Hearing protection

    Look at the passive NRR numbers, higher is better. When shooting in enclosed areas, or with brakes, I double up with NRR30 plugs under the muffs. I'm wearing an old set of Remingtons (NRR 27 or so) and looking at 3M Peltor SV Tactical Pro Hearing Protector - Amazon.com and Amazon.com: SportEar...

    I'd try to get arrested a lot, too. The one on the right, obscured by the sign, looks pretty good too from the parts I can see. "White pants- every woman's way of saying she's not having her period." 1911fan

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD New MOA Reticle Available

    First time I've gotten to handle one and play with it through zoom ranges, maybe I should have clarified. I think the opening in the center of the reticle is great. ridein4life, pick one system, MRAD or MOA, and learn it. Either will serve you well. 1911fan

    I was more asking for Monte, he and I will be partners this year. We haven't really had a chance to discuss the match but we're both signed up. And yes, completely worthy cause. Oyster vodka shooters, hell yeah! 1911fan

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD New MOA Reticle Available

    Just got the chance to look at the new EBR 2B reticle available in the Razor HD. I like it a lot- it's got a clear spot in the very center, so the reticle does not obscure the X-ring for F-Class shooting, and they've also added a "Christmas tree" below the center of the scope. I want one...

    losing sleep--CT AR15 "registration"

    Kalifornia did similar with AK/SKS registration a while back, followed by..... wait for it..... confiscation! Who'da thunk it. Gentlemen, I am 56 years old and have thought for years that this country would disintegrate shortly after my death. It saddens me to think I am living through it...

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    Little Johnny comes into the kitchen and says, "Mom, did you know Grandma has a shrimpy?" Mom, confused, asks "What's a shrimpy?" Little Johnny just repeats it, and finally offers to show Mom what he means. they go out into the living room, and there's Grandma sleeping on the couch. Her knees...

    Immovable "object" stops irresistible machine in Seattle

    Favorite comment so far: “Phnglui mglw nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah nagl fhtagn” ... and it was the first thing that crossed my mind. Maybe we shouldn't wake him up? 1911fan

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    My girlfriend is getting pretty kinky in bed. Her latest thing is to have me pretend she's 14. I'm not sure what the attraction is, she'll be 14 in a couple years anyway. 1911fan

    Hunting & Fishing 6mm remington - for deer & coyote

    It's not fur friendly but I shot a LOT of prairie dogs and rockchucks with a 6mm. Great round. I ran a 75gr VMax over H380 with good results. I'd probably use the Accubond for deer. 1911fan
